Anti-money laundering

Guidance and other work that we have done on anti-money laundering law and practice, in the UK and internationally.

The impact of money laundering is devastating – it’s a crime that funds other serious crimes such as modern slavery, drugs trafficking, fraud, corruption and terrorism. As a membership organisation and the largest accountancy professional body supervisor in the UK, an important part of our role is to provide guidance and resources to our members to help them comply with their legal and professional responsibilities. This AML hub brings together this latest information.
